This book examines the complex role of human rights norms and
standards throughout the region, illustrating the evolution and
impact of international conventions, laws, and institutions. The
chapters combine historical detail with a focus on present-day
challenges for regional and domestic human rights regimes,
highlighting particular obstacles, successful approaches, and
strategies. Through case studies in North, Central, and South
America, the volume provides a rich account of the evolving
regional environment for rights protection and promotion.
"At last, we have a quality overview of human rights progress
and challenges in the Americas. This volume fills a crucial gap in
the literature, allowing us to assess the complex and fascinating
human rights ebb and flow that has been the experience of Latin
America, including the often contradictory role of the United
States as champion and obstacle." --Richard Falk, Albert G. Milbank
Professor Emeritus of International Law, Princeton University
"A very authoritative overview written by some of the real
experts on the subject." --William A. Schabas, director, Irish
Centre for Human Rights
